Zak will be a top level footballer in a year or two.Just hope he gets off to a good start tomorrow because he could be a short term game changer for us in our hour of need.

Need a right back I think

so now thats ...
Johnson
Lacey
Pruti
Mani O
Burton
Hendrie
Dolan

Who can all play at the back (excluding Ferguson).....surely that should be enough to pull a decent backline from.

Personally I wouldnt mind seeing 4 at the back, with Ferguson and Hendrie as full backs, and Sweeney/Burton pushing on, something to try in the FA Trophy or something

the combinatin of full backs/wing backs not stopping many crosses, and the goalkeepers not being strong on crosses plagued us all last season and seems to continue to do so--doesnt matter how many Centre-backs you bring in you will continue to concede untoil that is sorted

Seaman is great going fwd, but every team we play seems to have a very good winger....am beginning to see the common denominator in that!

What like him playing in a defence that manages to keep a clean sheet?

Don't need a clean sheet to win football matches. Not sure what point you trying to make

Not a point as such-- more an observation that if we keep.a clean sheet with him in the team - it will be a game changer for us, this season - given the amount of goals we've shipped.

Let's hope it is our 1st clean sheet

Sorting the defence out could be the difference between finishing 7th or 20th.

Weakest div 5 for a lomg time.
It could be a now or never season.
Lets Everbody connected to HUFC raise the ambition n get this brilliant supported club out of this cesspit regime.

I’ll agree with you there Kev ….except for the ‘now or never season’ as I’ve lived through loads of them.

no stand out teams and that includes chesterfield when they are going forward. think most of the rest could mount a play off challenge. with the players who can be available JA task is easier to sort a defence out than finding players to score goals. these are the ones that get the higher wages because of being scarce at all levels. for me that would be a bigger problem for us if we had the leagues best defence but found scoring really difficult.

He stated he is 18 years old but he is 19 years old must have slept through his last birthday :laugh:
